Round table 2: Data production and knowledge sharing for an effective transformation of education systems

Location: 

Objective:

This second panel will focus on GPE and the KIX flagship initiative. The objective of this panel is to provide information on the different GPE-funded projects in the education sector. It is important that national delegations, TFPs, academics working in education and civil society are aware of the close links between these different initiatives and how they respond to the same objective of transforming education systems. The central elements that will be highlighted in these discussions are the availability of knowledge and innovations (pedagogical, learning, governance, management, etc.) as an integral part of the evidence base. The aim is to see from a regional and continental perspective how knowledge generation and the mobilisation and sharing of innovations can contribute to the advancement of education policies towards the achievement of OOD4.

Expected results:

  • Participants and all education stakeholders (TFP, SC, universities, school administrations, etc.) have a better understanding of GPEKIX initiatives and the links between them;
  • Participants increased their knowledge of the need to generate knowledge and evidence to address specific issues in education;
  • Recommendations.
